She runs her own cop army.

A whiskey stream of consciousness review.

Seems like another Hawaiian movie in the Philippines. Silk has her own theme song complete with cheesy 80s TV commercial or Saturday morning cartoon lyrics. At times the score has a little Scooby doo qualities. Pretty good action at times and I'm impressed by Silk's (Played by Jenny Sleighton) athleticism. That and she can handle a shot gun! The story and plot are ho hum, and there isn't enough chemistry between characters to keep interest between the action. The final climactic sequence actually has some fairly realistic shoot outs, but the ending is abrupt. The film would be better if it was more a character study focusing on Silk, and less about its cockamamie story. About the only thing we find out about her is how she came to be named "Silk" (which might be the best line in the film). Not drinking Kessler's with this one. Instead, enjoyed with a dram of baby saz. Cheers!
